5 Star Licensed Dog Breeders
When you buy a puppy, it is essential that you purchase it from an experienced and licensed dog breeder, like us. We have taken what seems to be a very cosmopolitan breed and brought it back to its roots. The mini dachshunds in our care are exercised daily all over the land with our gorgeous spaniels, exploring nature and the wilderness. They rummage through hedges, paddle through streams and navigate throughout various obstacles among the woods and valleys. This ensures they are happy and healthy, as well as keeping them challenged, stimulated, and confident.

What our customers are saying
- It was a privilege to be a guardian for Ruby and Pickles. Ruby was full of personality right from the start—playful, confident, independent and always keen to make new doggy friends. Pickles was a little more reserved at first, but with Ruby by his side, his gentle and affectionate nature soon began to shine.Both dogs absolutely loved being outdoors, with the beach being a particular favourite—watching them run after balls, play, and explore together was a joy.Justin and Sue are not only incredibly caring dog owners, but also ethical breeders who are clearly passionate about the wellbeing and happiness of their dogs. It shows in how healthy and loving Ruby and Pickles are. I raised some concerns with regards to a skin issue Pickles seemed to develop and they were quick to respond with advice and solutions. They continually checked in with me to ensure Pickles was improving.Being trusted to look after them was such a rewarding experience, and I feel lucky to have played a small part in their doggy lives.read moreread lessCaroline S.3 weeks agoWinnie we got Winnie at 9 weeks from Country style daschunds..
